Pretty sure it's on it's way to Ukraine. Along with the bridge destruction rounds.

I wonder if my unit ever found the missing 249 with a PEQ 15 attached. That was a fun 48hrs at company level tearing everything up and down looking for a MG 3 or 4 times over. Nothing like starving and being highly pissed off at the same time for something nobody knew about til we did a 100% inspection.

This was well over 10 years ago...

Should you run across it. Don't forget to take care of that ser#.


Aloha, Mark

PS..........


I'd never suggest doing an Illegal Act.
Just grinding off the rust. Maybe a wire brush might have been better? Serial numbers are sometimes sooo difficult to read.

Wasn't me. The ammo would be too expensive.

I hated being on lock-down because someone misplaced gas mask or their CEOI ( The book with all the secret squirrel authentication codes and words of the day )

Fort Lewis lost like 220 M-16 receivers back 35 years ago. One of the base Armorers walked off with them sold them all over the place until he got caught up with. I understand they got a few back. but there is still a bunch of them floating around somewhere.

That's an airtight alibi.
